A friend and I headed to Saline Valley over the last weekend in October. It was the first time in a while the truck was all happy and squared away to go someplace. Saline is all easy stuff but it is a lot of fun.

I see you folks have a Net about Death Valley back on October 4 or so. Sorry I missed that because as some of you know, I have wheeled and hiked a lot of the area. It is magical in a way, the whole area with its big expansive views.
Anyway, I do not like the big runs (the Panamint Valley Days sort of thing) because I think when it is full of people it kind for ruins some of that magic.

Glad your rig was up to the task, and that you and your friend had a good time...
Why don't you try to check in on the Thurs night OAUSA nets (7:30-9:30pm)? We'd love to have your input, and since you're on Keller Peak already, it won't be an issue to hit the repeater for you

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear really bright, until they start talking

Looks like a great trip. I agree with you about the crowds.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you on this. I have checked into the Adventure Net many times but since I started this job and all that as gone on in the past six months or so, I miss a lot. I was the one who last spring checked in with an HT and home made Yagi from the top of Wildrose Peak . . . an unofficial 5 watt record (or maybe not)!
I will try to start checking in again.
Anyway, I am always here to assist if you want to do a Death Valley trip . . . either with information or more. It is one of my favorite areas.
